Far too many deaths due to this action based on a clear lack of good judgment. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not condemning the man, I’m condemning the action.

Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:42:00 +0000http://www.trektoday.com/content/?p=32897#comment-27044The blood alcohol limit is 0.08 in New Zealand. There was no mention of a blood alcohol test even having been taken. We’ll see how this fares in the NZ court system. I’m not condoning drinking and driving. Unfortunately it is an accepted practice and many people do it after a bar-b-que, dinner, party, and the list goes on. Perhaps Pine should have taken an offer for a ride back to his hotel, but according to the patrons and barkeepers, he didn’t appear drunk. What’s the likelihood that most of us non-teatotallers have gotten behind the wheel when we shouldn’t have. Perhaps before condemning him, it would be better to wait and see if he repeats the behavior.

By the way, you’ll want to know this. BC hinted at a return in the next installment. I hate it when I’m right.

Honestly, he should have known better and had someone transport(no pun intended)him home. Let alone had his keys taken away. Thankfully nobody got hurt in any accidents, so hopefully he learned his lesson from this.

He visited and interviewed all the Captains of Trek (minus Takei). Brooks was visiting and talking with the Prophets during his 15 minutes.
